Do you ever skip work/school when your cramps are very painful?

Question

Answer

I used to in high school or have my parents make me a note to get out of P.E because a heavy period plus jumping jacks and miles were not my thing . Never missed work or college because of them though but i also realize that getting older my cramps have definitely gotten less intense .

Answer

I answered no because typically I just go and deal with it. But there was one time when I had to work morning shift and I’d been up allllll night because the cramps were so bad and pain killers weren’t helping. But typically, no

Answer

Yes, in middle/high school! My cramps were so bearable that I couldn’t walk.

Answer

It’s only a couple of times per year when my cramps have me doubled over in pain and my entire body aches. I’ll use a sick day for that. Otherwise, I keep a heating pad at my desk and will sit there using it to keep the moderate cramps at bay.
